im wondering if i screwed up somewhere or he forgot to give us another line of code or something because, i even redownloaded pcmod2 from the svn and did the same thing he said and it still gives same error hmmm

pcmod/cl_2d3d.lua:332: attempt to compare nil with number <--- thats for a laptop spawn and for a desktop spawn i get this

Just a quick suggestion: Could ariels be put on computers so they can look for and connect to a current network, instead of spawning a router and making a completely different network? It would be cool for private house networks. Also, would it be possible to make a list of IP Codes to see who has connected, so if someone runs a talk/internet cafe, they can block any other private computers connecting to their servers?

P.S. I know this is long winded, but if anyone is up-to making something, could they read this please?

Hrmmm, Sorry, I am a garrysmod noob, and I am setting up a server just to fool around with-
I am sure this has been answered, but I have not found it yet (as I probably failed the poisonous snake test).

The print function works fine in single player, but I setup a server on my lan with srcds with the svn pcmod2 (and yes, tons of other addons so shame on me, I'll post a complete list if you want one) and whenever I print, the textures go all wonky near the printer for whoever is near it until they die/kill themselves (it looks like a wallhack sort of thing) and we are greeted with a spamming type error...
I enabled debug mode for pcmod, and here's what I see...

first, just to tell you, freshly rebooted server, and before this text I just spawned a laptop and printer, connected them together, booted the pc, put a file "test" in for notepad, shut the computer off, and the start of this log is me turning the pc back on.

Thinking it may be a texture issue, I disabled every pack I could from gmod settings, yet it still worked fine in single player....

then I thought it might be an addon issue, so I removed all the addons from the addon directory of my dedicated server except for pcmod. My addons directory now only has the "counter-strike", "day-of-defeat", "default_sent_pack", "derma", "hl2_ep2", "portal", "tf", and of course "pcmod2" folders inside of it, yet it still is exhibiting the same exact problem....

I forgot to mention, the dialog box that normally shows up when you select print does not show up on my dedicated server (that's when the bug happens)

Hey guys. I just downloaded this addon recently, and I am having a minor problem while experimenting with it. I spawned a monitor, tower, keyboard and printer. I hooked up the printer through the USB connection to the tower, the monitor to the tower with VGA, the keyboard to the PS/2. I go into notepad, make a document, and when I save it and open it, it refuses to print, giving me a string of errors, all the same;

First it says:

11pcmod/ssdevices/dev_win_printloc.lua:32: table index is nil

...Followed by an infinite string of these:

pcmod/cl_2d3d.lua:486: attempt to compare nil with number
pcmod/cl_2d3d.lua:486: attempt to compare nil with number
pcmod/cl_2d3d.lua:486: attempt to compare nil with number

etc.

Well, I'm sure you get the message. Can somebody tell me what I'm doing wrong here?

Lancelot, i get the same issue where the scroll bar doesn't work. I dunno how to fix it, but i'd like to know.

Quathan, search the thread for that error, i'm sure that's popped up before. But i might be wrong.

Believe me, I looked on all 11 pages of this thread, and no dice. Trust me, I'm not one of those people who asks a question on a thread because I'm too lazy to look myself.

Somebody a few posts above me had the almost identical problem (the only difference is that he used a laptop instead), but it doesn't even matter because I'm not even sure if he really found a solution, and he claimed it was because of an issue that I don't think pertains to my computer (something to do with the textures..?).

If anybody knows what I'm doing wrong, let me know. Remember, I'm hooking up the printer through the usb, the keyboard through the PS/2, and the monitor through VGA. I save a document or two in notepad, and I go to print it, only to get this string of errors. Also, part of the floor on my map blacks out and disappears. Perhaps I'll take a video of it later if I have time.

I would spawn a tower, a monitor, a keyboard, a splitter, some speakers, and then the printer. Then I would hook up the monitor, keyboard, splitter, and printer to the tower. Then hook the speakers to the splitter.

Then I would turn on the tower and just keep hitting next till I got into the OS. Then give myself the install disk and put all the client stuff on it.

Then open up the text program, use quicktype to write a message, then hit print, wait a few seconds, then get out and pick up the paper. Then kill a zombie with it.

Ok guys, it could be that the svn is missing something or has an outdated version of something. Quathan, try to get the 2.0.4 version off gmod.org and use that instead of the SVN - see if it works better. I'll look into it, it's probably something simple to fix.

I actually tried that one, since somebody a few posts up from me put a link to it. And no dice, though.

I'm just a little curious why barely anybody else seems to be having this problem.

Why would you use a splitter, and what is a splitter? And how do I obtain and use an install disk, and/or put my client side stuff on it?
